Starting with image #2, each picture is created by zooming into a section of the previous image.  A thumbnail is provided so you can see where
this was done from.  A brief eXplanation is given under each image so the viewer can get a 'feel' for what they are viewing.  ENJOY!  "X" 11-09-04

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 1 - "THE COMPLETE SET"
Above we see the 'complete' Mandelbrot Set.  This is the 'spider', 'bug', or 'cactus' shape that continues to emerge throughout the entire Set.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 2 - "SEAHORSE VALLEY"
Zooming into the 'neck' of the Mandelbrot Set, we can see detail displaying infinitely more 'bugs'.  This area is known as "Seahorse Valley".

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 3 - "SEAHORSE VALLEY ZOOM"
A closer look at "Seahorse Valley" shows us how it got this name.  It eXposes unlimited spirals that resemble the spirals of seahorse tails.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 4 - "SEAHORSE CLOSE UP"
Continuing our zoom, ever more detail is revealed.  Here we see 'mini-mandelbrots' appearing amongst the organized "clutter" of INFINITY.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 5 - "SEAHORSE TAIL"
The SPIRAL is a reoccurring shape in the Mandelbrot Set.  It is just one of many ways images from FRACTALS can invoke thoughts of nature.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 6 - "SEAHORSE DE-TAIL"
Closer eXamination of the 'seahorse tail' might leave the viewer thinking this area of the Set is composed entirely of SPIRALS....

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 7 - "MANDELBROT SATELLITE"
...but zooming in further shows yet another "spider-bug-cactus" Mandelbrot Set shape appear.  The new bug is a new "universe" to eXplore.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 8 - "MANDELBROT SATELLITE ZOOM"
Although very similar to image #1, this new 'satellite' is a complete individual.  New variations will appear within it, and ALL OTHER satellites.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 9 - "MANDELBROT SATELLITE & ANTENNA"
Once again limitless more Mandelbrots can be found along the boundaries of the horizon and along the 'antenna' of this new mandelbrot bug

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 10 - "SATELLITE'S SEAHORSE VALLEY"
Mega mini mandelbrots once again litter the horizon, and zooming in on any one of them would reveal a similar scene, yet be subtly individual.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 11 - "SEAHORSE VALLEY 2"
Once again we find ourselves in an area that resembles the pictures seen above in images number 3 & 4, but this scene has something more.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 12 - "DOUBLE SPIRAL TAILS"
The "sky" is now filled with additional spirals resembling Julia Sets. These 'Julia Islands' are all similar, yet each an individual like the bugs.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 13 - "JULIA ISLAND"
As with other parts of the Mandelbrot Set, the viewer can choose any point on the plane for further investigation and can 'zoom in' to infinity.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 14 - "JULIA ISLAND ZOOM"
Here we see a Julia Satellite emerge. Its differing colors from the rest of the environment makes it stand out and demand further investigation.

MANDELBROT SET IMAGE 15 - "JULIA ISLAND SATELLITE"
Again we see endless swirls or 'seahorse tails', but if we continued our zoom we would also find an endless amount of more 'bugs' to eXplore.
